Advantages: moisturises well and skin looks better
Disadvantages: Leaves a 'residue' on skin, can't apply foundation as it goes bitty

I have had this problem with many moisturisers and hope this one wouldn't be the same - It goes on well and as I am rubbing it in I think how much my skin surface is improving then....it starts to separate and go all bitty, it is hard to describe but I end up with small bits of clogged moisturiser all over my face!! I have tried applying less (not that I used much anyway, I did not depress the pump dispenser all the way down) and though at first ...
...foundation over it the same happens and I have to wash it all off....is it just me?? I have glimpsed all the other reviews and none mention this problem so maybe my skin strangely does not absorb things properly!! It is a real shame because I have tried the new version for skin prone to spots and love how it makes my skin feel, but I can only apply it at night as even that lighter formula still has the same effect. I would recommend this for the ... Read review

Advantages: Non-greasy, moisturising, lovely
Disadvantages: No sunscreen

I really love this moisturiser. It has a lovely mild scent, it's absorbed easily into the skin, and is very gentle. I don't have terrible sensitive skin, but it is very fair and fine, so I was pleasantly surprised that this didn't clog up my pores or leave a greasy residue. I love everything about this moisturiser, including the delicate pink colour..... unfortunately it does have one major drawback that means I no longer use it as my main moisturiser- ...
...terms of skincare nowadays. I know what you're going to say- 'use the Complete Care, which has sun-screen', but I've tried it and it's not great. This would make a wonderful moisturiser at night, in the summer, when you want a light fresh moisturiser. Personally I'm planning on trying the Radiance Moisturiser for my mainstay daytime wear, and hoping it lives up to its predecessor! ... Read review

Advantages: non greasy, leaves skin as if has just drink water, smells great
Disadvantages: Not really a sunblock alternative

Most of you would recall that old Olay traditional bottle of thick opaque glass standing proudly on your grand mother's beauty shelf, tradition passed to your mother and when you applied that moisturiser you would think there was no other lotion besides your baby lotion or this olay moisturiser. Olay has been in business for quiet some time.Unlike other brands it did not come up with all those crazy options of different lines of product at once. ...
...most of the beautiful women with well moisturised skins hold Olay as their beauty secret. I mysslef used the product for a long time and it was december 2006 when I saw Olay complete care and decided to try it( because of the promises it had on its package because vitamin enriched products have suddenly become my priority). It comes in a white opaque bottle. The texture is not as thick as the traditional Olay , but is light and easily spreads. It ... Read review

Advantages: no smell, light and moisturising
Disadvantages: expensive, no visible results

I bought this as advancing years have produced small lines and dark circles under my eyes although I don't (as yet) have much puffiness. I tried this as I am a long term user of the moisturiser being one of the first to have SPF in it but I have to say I was very disappointed. It comes in a small jar which may not the the most hygeinic way to apply eye products (make sure hands are clean!) but its light, doesn't have a noticeable smell and leaves ...
...about it really. Lines are still there as are the dark circles. I have really noticed any difference. I just use it at night now as a moisturiser until its empty and I can use the pot for travel use! It was over £6 for a tiny amount and there are far better products out there for less. Even a small tube of Avon Aloe gel I have works better. ... Read review

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: People may be put off by the cheap selling price

I have been using oil of Ulay or should I now say Olay since I was 14 yrs old, 20 years on and I still favour this moisturiser (well apart from the name, preferred ulay!) more than any other product on the market. I suppose you would like to know why? Well I suppose it's true,beauty secrets are passed down from mother to daughter. I first got hooked on the product because I got a very badly burnt face one holiday and we didn't have any after sun, ...
...as much as possible using Oil of Ulay everyday religiously! Voila, I am now 34, have no wrinkles and my skin is in pretty good nick and in many ways I like to think its all down to moisturising twice a day with oil of ulay. Oil of Olay is manufactured in Ireland and is part of the Proctor and Gamble group. They produce a very wide range of olay products from daily facial moisturisers to shower gels, the list is endless. The product I use in the ... Read review
